A vacuum fryer machine is a food frying equipment that performs low-temperature frying in a vacuum environment. The key difference between a vacuum fryer machine and common continuous fryer machines or general batch fryer machines lies in the fact that it conducts frying within a vacuum chamber. The frying temperature of the vacuum fryer machine is generally between 80 and 120℃, which can effectively preserve the color, taste, nutrients, and aroma of the food.
Vacuum fryer machines are widely used for the production of high-value-added products such as banana slices, apple slices, and carrot slices and so on. Therefore, the vacuum fryer machine price is relatively higher than that of common batch fryers, but it is almost similar to continuous fryer machines. If you need to produce relatively healthier food products like fruit slices or vegetable slices, a vacuum fryer machine would be your ideal choice.
Vacuum frying removes moisture and air, creating a nearly vacuum state within the frying chamber. It is used to process foods that are sensitive to high temperatures and are prone to burning during conventional deep frying. Multiple studies have shown that due to the lower frying temperature in vacuum fryer machine, the content of carcinogen acrylamide can be reduced, and at the same time, the oil content of the products is also lower. Generally speaking, vacuum fryer contains continous vacuum fryer machine and batch vacuum fryer machine. In Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, China, the Philippines, and Indonesia, batch vacuum fryer machines are widely used by small and medium-sized enterprises in the production of fruit slices. For larger-scale production, continuous vacuum fryer machine can be adopted.

AGICO Vacuum Fryer Machine Characteristics
The heating, frying, oil storage, de-oiling, dewatering and oil filtration are designed to be done continuously under vacuum, so that the oil content of the product is low. The product is under vacuum, and the food processing under this relatively oxygen-free condition can reduce or even eliminate the harm caused by oxidation (such as fatty acid decay, enzymatic browning and other oxidative deterioration). In the negative pressure state, using oil as the heat transfer medium, the water inside the food (free water and part of the combined water) will evaporate rapidly and spray out, making the slices form a loose and porous structure.
Automatic control of temperature and pressure (vacuum), no overheating, no overpressure, to ensure product quality and safe production.
De-oiling adopts frequency conversion speed control, suitable for all products with low and high oil content.
The oil-water separation system can separate the evaporated water and oil, reduce the pollution of water circulation, improve the repeated use of water and reduce the loss of oil.
Oil filtration system, upper and lower oil tanks, double chamber heating system, separate control of heating, circulating filter oil when frying, so that the oil is always clean, and reduce the waste of oil.
The machine is made of stainless steel, with high efficiency, stable performance, easy to install and use.

Vacuum Oil Tank
The vacuum oil tank is equipped with a quick-opening 304 stainless steel feeding port for easy cleaning of residual oil inside the tank. To prevent product residues from mixing with the oil during frying, a removable stainless steel filter screen is installed below the feeding port.Send Inquiry Now!
Easy-to-Operate Control Module
The control cabinet is made of food-grade 304 stainless steel and features a PLC control system that provides centralized and intuitive operation. It can be customized according to different voltage requirements.
Safety features include an emergency stop button, main leakage protection switch, over-temperature alarm, and automatic power-off with alarm in case of sensor failure — ensuring safe and reliable operation. Send Inquiry Now!
High Vacuum Unit
The vacuum system adopts a Roots–water ring vacuum unit, using a water ring pump as the fore pump. This design overcomes the disadvantages of a single water ring pump, such as poor ultimate pressure and low pumping speed under constant pressure, while retaining the Roots pump’s advantages of fast operation and high pumping speed. It is easy to operate, simple to install, and ensures smooth operation. Send Inquiry Now!
Automatic Vacuum Chamber Door System
The automatic door system of the vacuum chamber is driven by six cylinders, enabling the door to move outward and lift for opening. This design completely eliminates the need for labor-intensive and inefficient manual door operation. Send Inquiry Now!
